About Stories Implementation Training
HEAR DISCOVER EXPERIENCE LEARN
A transformative approach exists that can be made widely available in Australia to support the mental health of people and families.
It’s called Open Dialogue
The opportunity to adapt how we approach mental health care is core to how the Open Dialogue Centre is partnering with funders, services, schools and other organisations. Open Dialogue can support any health system, practice, school or organisation.
In collaboration we will enable the quality and practice of Open Dialogue to grow in Australia, with input from those with lived experience so that people and families can experience better health outcomes.
Open Dialogue and the Centre
Open Dialogue is a person-centred approach that supports people across the spectrum of mild to severe experiences of crisis or mental ill-health. It is being adopted around the world with positive results. (button video on ODC)
The Centre partners with organisations and communities who are working in mental health services and early intervention settings to achieve better outcomes for people and families by training and implementing Open Dialogue. We provide the supervision and support needed to create an Open Dialogue approach that meets the needs of diverse communities in Australia.

Implementing Open Dialogue
We develop the evidence base for Open Dialogue to enable professionals and teams to demonstrate the effectiveness of new approaches
Supporting the change we need in Australia
The increasing strain on Australia’s mental health system means that
people are struggling to access the support they need and trust, at the
right point in time. The role of family and friends in supporting those
who experience mental health challenges is often not valued within the Australian mental health system. We need new solutions that involve social networks, lived experience and relationships – in a truly person centred way.
You can be part of the change.
Enabling organisations and communities
Open Dialogue can be learnt and applied in mental health services, with communities and organisations. It complements and enhances existing
approaches and practices.
Australia is unique in its adoption of Open Dialogue, incorporating schools and community services where early intervention is essential to improving outcomes for children and young people.
